No Set Fee – Pay Whatever You Can Afford

Zen priest Karen Maezen Miller will lead a meditation retreat focused on a fundamental Zen teaching: Ordinary mind is the Way. The emphasis will be on realizing the Dharma in our everyday activities and interactions with one another. The retreat will include zazen (Zen meditation), walking meditation, chanting, numerous Q&As, and the opportunity to meet privately with Maezen. The teachings are personal and informal, and will take place in the Rime Center’s upstairs shrine room.

Karen Maezen Miller is a sensei (teacher) at the Hazy Moon Zen Center in Los Angeles and the author of three books on spirituality in everyday life, Paradise in Plain Sight, Hand Wash Cold and Momma Zen. A frequent guest at the Rime Center, she leads workshops and retreats around the country.
